Triumph Speed Triple Turns 15
Triumph Speed Triple turns 15
There are very few motorcycles that truly break through and shift design for the entire sport. The Speed Triple is one of those motorcycles, says Jim Callahan, North American marketing manager for Triumph Motorcycles. The Speed Triple has been refined over the years for even better styling and performance, but the bike has always remained true to the original concept and has always been one of the most recognized streetfighter-style motorcycles. It is one of Triumphs greatest success stories.
The fuel tank on the 15th Anniversary Speed Triple also features the signature of entrepreneur John Bloor, who revived the company in the 80s.
Each limited edition Speed triple comes with a commemorative watch featuring matching red and black detailing. Custom designed with a stainless steel case, crown and pusher buttons, and an integrated leather strap with an engraved buckle.
The Speed Triple, released in 1994, is the most successful Triumph in the modern Hickley era.
